'07 OH ATH Carlton Peake (Louisville signee, transfer to ???)

[crazybuckfan40]

I know we go by speed, big speed, and power but I would think Peake getting an offer would tell us one of two things: Clifford is possibly being recruited as a WR primarily or they are offering Peake first over Dailey and Hines, because I'm pretty sure we won't offer all 3 if Peake is coming as a LB, which is where I personally like him with his size.

My guess at this given time would be the second one, b/c even if he was to start out as a safety he would move to lb within a year, b/c he is going to put on weight.

CJ visited tOSU's practice last week and was impressed with Chris Wells. The Buckeyes are showing major interest and have mentioned that CJ is a possible LB. He holds offers from North Carolina, Pittsburgh, and West Virginia.



Greg Powers is a straight shooter. He would not title the article as he did unless there was something there. Good sign.

Wow, recruiting is really heating up for Mr. Peake. I really hope he gets an offer from the Bucks really soon. He could be a real terror coming off the edge at one of the OLB positions.

 

[underoath437]

he fits the mold of the "new" LB perfectly, smaller but faster and strong. Auburn and Texas are known mostly for it (thanks to their DC), but i can see Peake fitting that role in C-bus.

I wouldn't quite say that. He's 6'2 215 lbs right now... if he fills out normally, he could easily play at 240.

Curtis Terry came in at 205ish, and is probably around 235 right now.


If you mean new age linebacker by being fast, then yeah, he'd fit that mold. However, I doubt he'll be "small" if he plays linebacker over safety.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

I don't think there is anyway that once he gets to college that he could keep the weight off to play safety. He will be a stud OLB tho.

I really hope thsi kid can get an offer and we can pull him in. The kid seems liek a great talent and would definently be an outstanding OLB.
